27 Director, the script is wrong! (1/2)

If this was some sort of mystical fantasy cultivation world, Seiji could just slaughter them all, then wash his hands and walk away without a care in the world. However, this was a modern society. If someone died, it would become a serious matter.

Well, that was unless he had the power to cover it all up, but he didn’t.

So, should he knock out all the remaining black-suited men before leaving?

In all honesty, it wasn’t a bad idea, and it was the only idea he currently had. He could just pretend to be a masked hero of justice.

But even though he was wearing a mask and he purposefully lowered his voice when speaking, there was still a possibility of his identity being discovered, however unlikely.

Only comics would have a situation where a masked superhero could completely fool everyone about his identity with just a mask and a tightsuit!

There were many ways to find out someone’s identity in real life that were difficult to deal with.

And he would prefer to be able to go back to his normal daily life after this…

Seiji remained motionless as he mulled this over in his mind. However, to the remaining black-suited men, after defeating the scarred man with the gun with a single punch, it seemed like he was coldly gazing at them with an aura of danger surrounding him.

All of them believed that after being threatened by a gun, he would completely lose his temper! After all, street fights with and without guns were at completely different levels.

In such a situation, they didn’t think it would be strange if the masked boy instantly started thrashing all of them.

Even the bystanders were looking on with bated breath, and they nervously watched what the masked boy would now do…

”Please… please wait!”

Just as everyone expected violence to break out once more, a girl’s voice rung out.

It was the curly-haired blonde girl.

”Please… please stop fighting. They’ve already lost… is it alright if you just let them go?” She nervously begged the boy.

‘What’s going on?’ Seiji looked at the girl with a confused expression that was concealed by his mask. ‘Wasn’t she the victim? Why was she requesting mercy for these guys? Was she some legendary saint?’

Perhaps she had perceived his doubt as the blonde-haired girl glanced at the black-suited men.

”They… they’re all my father’s subordinates. This all happened because they were trying to catch me… they were just following orders. I… I know that you were being threatened by a gun, and you must be very angry… but, please believe me—they’re actually not as bad as you think…”

The blonde-haired girl glared at the remaining black-suited men, took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly distorted.

”What are you standing around idly for—hurry the hell up and kneel, idiots!!!”

”Apologize to this gentleman, bastards!!!” The blonde-haired girl had a severe expression as she gave them another order.

”We’re truly sorry!” The men shouted together, causing a sound that reverberated throughout the night sky.

All the bystanders looked on with their mouths wide agape.

Hidden by his mask, Seiji’s expression was no different.

The entire street became dead silent—it was possible to hear a pin drop.

A cold breeze blew down the street.

”That’s… that’s how it is.” The girl ran her fingers through her messy hair: ”I apologize on their behalf to you as well. I hope that this will quell your rage. If necessary, we can also compensate you… but I’d need to talk to my father about that first.”

Seiji finally returned to his senses.

‘Director, wasn’t this the wrong script!!?’ He couldn’t stop himself from mentally commenting on this ridiculous situation. He didn't even know what his current expression looked like. Fortunately, the mask concealed his true expression from the others.

He eyes flicked back to the blonde girl, who seemed to have made a sincere request. He then turned to look at the remaining men, who were deferentially prostrating themselves to him in a neat row. It took him over ten seconds to finally figure out a suitable reply.

”Oh… I’ll accept your apologies then… since the situation is like this…”

He turned around and looked at Watari and Kobayashi; their mouths were wide agape, mirroring the expression that the bulk of the bystanders had.

”What about those two boys?”

”They were accidentally involved in this incident…” The girl explained the events that had previously occurred.

”I see, then you should compensate these two kind-hearted fellows…” Seiji spoke in a righteous tone.

‘Man, so in the end it turns out this was all just a family dispute,’ Seiji sighed inwardly.

”Indeed… my deepest apologies.” The blonde girl bowed deeply to him.

”There’s no need to say it to me; just apologize to those two, and take them to the hospital. Remember to pay off all their hospital fees, and give them proper compensation.” Seiji waved his hand casually.

”Yes! We… I’ll make them do that,” the blonde girl answered respectfully.

Seiji nodded lightly.

”I’m gonna leave now; you guys take care of the rest, and don’t give anyone else any trouble.”

He waved his hand again and prepared to leave without giving any clues to his identity, like leaving his name behind.

”Oh… um…” The blonde girl seemed like she wanted to say something.

”What else is there?”

Seiji looked back behind him, when he realized that he just did the pretentious action of leaning his head back 45 degrees to look at her.

”Um… this… may this girl… know your name?”

The curly-haired blonde girl’s face was flushed red, and her eyes were sparkling. She was nervously playing with her hands, and her expression seemed like that of a shy girl trying to make a boyfriend.
